Butthole Surfers Newmarket, NH

It was literally in a little suburban area of New Hampshire. Like a residential neighborhood, the concert was in a church. It was JUST the Butthole Surfers. Theresa, Gibby, King, Paul, Jeff. No Paul Green School of Rock kids. They played for a little over an hour and a half. It was a small little place, the whole floor was a mass of drunk/stoned sweaty people shoulder to shoulder. I ran up on the stage and grabbed the setlist when they left at the end. I actually have it right here in front of me. It reads:

22
Fast
Suicide
100
Some Dispute
Goofy
To Parter
Colored FBI
Graveyard
Dust Devil
Rocky
Cowboy Bob
Cherub
Sweatloaf
XRAY
Gary Floyd
Jimi
??? looks like cactus with a d on the end, the song was the 2nd half of jimi
Shah

Amazing concert of course. Very intimate show, I was 5 feet from them the whole time being shoved and thrown around. Only weird thing was they shortened a few of their songs, 100 million people dead was only like 3 mins. Amazing show, the highlight of my year. Going to see them again tomorrow in NYC because I am crazy and they are pretty much my favorite band along with Sonic Youth. Horray for Butthole Surfers

Now that is what I am talking about. How did they play (as in a regular band or like the old school BHS)?

jesus fuck what a set list holy fuck I wish I was there doing drugs and rocking out insanity style

Stone Church, Newmarket? I had moved to Boston from Durham the year before...I tried to put on gigs there but they only did over 21....back in teh day buttholes never played all ages where I could get to so I didn't pay them much attention whereas SST bands always played all ages shows in new england.

pics, They played as the oldschool BHS, but no video screen or light show or smoke machines or anything. We get that tonight in NYC.
